Hi Sitla, the cause of the issue is that the Time Entry has Invalid Start and End Dates in the table. The entries seem to be coming from the Biometric system, but I need to investigate this further.

Table 1 below which has the invalid Dates.

Hi Vineshwar, we have found the issue with the time conversion from Timesheet to Time Entry.

The issue is caused by the incorrect use of Time Conversion. The correction is in Update 13.03.1019 which can be download from this link.

This update includes data correction for time entries created with the incorrect Time values.
